Feedback
The answer was incorrect; review page 7, section 1.3.1 of the prescribed book and pages 5-6, section
1.2.1 of the study guide. Psychological needs is the correct answer. Physiological needs are the basic
needs we as humans require in order to survive such as air. Safety needs come after physiological needs
and include financial and lifestyle security as well as protection from pain and discomfort. An example
would be an alarm system. Self-actualisation needs are at the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and are
only satisfied when all the other levels have been satisfied. These needs address one’s need to realise
one’s full potential and find fulfilment. An example would be learning to speak another language or
taking an art class to learn how to paint. Esteem needs address the need for achievement. An example
would be purchasing an expensive car to show status and achievement or buying expensive jewellery.

Product enhancement
d.
Product repositioning
Feedback
The answer was incorrect; review page 59-60, section 3.4.2 of the prescribed book and page 33, section
3.3.2 of the study guide. New-to-the-firm products is the correct answer. Chips already exist on the
market and, therefore, will not be classified as new-to-the-world products. There is no reference to any
product being repositioned to fulfil another function, therefore it is not considered product repositioning.
There is also no mention as to improving a product they currently offer; therefore, it is not considered a
product enhancement.
